A well-planned care garden can transform everyday routines into moments of calm, connection and gentle activity. In Sanderstead, we design outdoor spaces that are easy to navigate, reassuring to use, and uplifting in every season. Whether your site is near Sanderstead Recreation Ground or close to All Saints Church, we tailor layouts to the building, residents’ needs and staff workflows. Expect clear routes, safe boundaries and inviting places to pause.
The care home gardens Sanderstead area often sit alongside large detached houses, executive homes and characterful period properties, so presentation matters as much as practicality. We’re used to working with generous plots, sloping lawns and mature planting common around CR2. Designs can be formal and structured or softly naturalistic, but always prioritise accessibility and low-maintenance upkeep. We also plan for year-round interest to support wellbeing in every month.
We start with a site survey and a simple, resident-focused design proposal, then confirm materials, access routes and safeguarding considerations. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and clear communication throughout. Every build is finished to a high standard with careful checks on levels, trip hazards and handrail placement. Local clients trust us for dependable timelines, considerate crews and long-lasting results.
Sanderstead sites often include level changes, mature trees and heavier clay soils, so drainage and stable path sub-bases are essential. We plan deliveries and parking carefully for residential roads, and we keep access clear for staff, visitors and emergency routes. If your property is near Sanderstead Plantation or within CR2, we’ll factor in shade patterns and root protection zones. We also align designs with practical expectations for care settings across the London Borough of Croydon.

Costs vary with access, levels, and how much hard landscaping is needed. As a guide, small upgrades (path repairs, handrails, seating) often start around £3,000–£8,000. A mid-sized redesign with accessible pathways, raised beds and planting is commonly £12,000–£30,000. Larger schemes with drainage, shade structures, secure boundaries and multiple zones can be £35,000–£80,000+. We provide a clear, itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for smaller improvement works and 3–8 weeks for a full garden redesign. Timescales depend on groundworks, drainage requirements, the amount of paving, and lead times for bespoke items such as handrails or shade structures. We also plan around care home routines to reduce noise and disruption. After the survey, we’ll provide a realistic programme with key milestones and completion dates.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, most paths, raised beds and standard fencing within height limits. However, permission may be needed for taller boundaries, structures in prominent positions, work affecting protected trees, or if the building is listed. Some sites also have specific access or fire-safety requirements. We’ll advise during the survey, check constraints where relevant, and can support with drawings and information if an application is required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving, edging, steps and retaining details, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials are covered by their manufacturers’ guarantees where applicable, and we’ll explain these at handover. We also carry appropriate insurance and complete a final snagging check to confirm levels, fixings and safety details like handrails and trip edges are correct.
We offer a wide choice to suit different mobility needs and aesthetics: resin-bound or textured paving for accessible pathways, brick or stone edging, timber or composite raised beds, and robust handrails in powder-coated metal. For sensory planting, we often use lavender, rosemary, grasses and tactile shrubs, plus seasonal bulbs. Seating can be fixed benches or sheltered pods, and memory gardens can include themed planting and clear wayfinding. We’ll guide choices based on maintenance, safety and budget.
